So it sounds like Q5 it is

To put in a clear lens on the hella gen3 you need to space the front half of the projector almost 10mm out. So that means grinding off those rivets holding it together and carefully spacing the lens and putting it back together bolts and nuts and lots of washers.

Lol sounds like the Q5 is the way to go, but OEM does usually mean better but your right not always... Also what do you mean require modification to put in a clear lens?

The headlight retrofit im looking at says it takes a Hella 3 or Hella 8 or Koito Q5 3 inch projector, does anyone have any idea what the difference is between those? And/or why one would be better than the other?

Q5 is going to be brighter, wider, whiter in output with OEM bulbs and have a sharper cutoff. I myself prefer the Hella 3 only because its OEM. But OEM doesn't always equal better. Plus the Hella's (both) require modifications to even put in a clear lens. I know my choice doesn't make sense but I like OEM stuff.

Well what I am doing is sort of like that. I have a black car, and I am smoking out the turn signal lens, so it will look somewhat like that... I'm afraid I must once again link to the "Batman MK3" for reference:
